The Mercedes-Benz ML 430 V8 - 272hp is a 4.3L naturally aspirated petrol engine producing 272 BHP and 400 Nm from the factory. With a typical Stage 1 remap, output increases to approximately 290 BHP and 425 Nm — a gain of around 18 BHP (7%) and 25 Nm (6%).
This engine has limited remap suitability, though the available headroom is limited, so gains are modest compared to higher-output variants. The tuning headroom is classified as limited, based on the percentage gain available from the factory output.
Considerations: Naturally aspirated engine: gains are usually limited; results vary widely.. High tuned torque: check transmission torque capacity and service history.
